Configuration of 64 Channels of Navel Nāḍī Chakra
Which are the 12 channels that correspond to the 12 zodiac signs?
The above diagram of the navel nāḍī chakra was drawn by Beri Khyentse Rinpoche (1890-1946). He said that he copied this diagram from the original illustration of the nāḍī system drawn by the 15th Karmapa and Jamgon Lodoe Thaye.
Configuration
The large circle in the centre is the central channel, which is located in the navel region.
From the central channel at the navel, four primary channels branch off to the right and left, connected to the right Roma channel and the left Kyangma channel.
The Sun and Moon move through the right and left channels, and Rahu (eclipse) moves through the central channel.
These four primary channels divide into three channels each, making twelve channels. These twelve secondary channels correspond to the twelve houses or signs of the zodiac. Six channels on the right correspond to the six odd signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). Six channels on the left are the six even signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius).
Finally, the twelve secondary channels are divided into five channels each, making sixty channels.
What are the sixty-four channels?
4 primary channels + 60 tertiary channels (outer channel tips).
